Importance of Technology

Today more than ever before, technological advances assist people with disabilities in the classroom. For example, students needing help with reading can use a screen reading software. Students with problems in written communication or orthopedic disabilities can use speech recognition software. Other adaptive technology that might be available includes: Braille machines, talking calculators, spell checkers, computer notetaking systems, FM systems, and adaptive software for the computer. Contact the disability services provider to get information on what is available at each institution.
